Nick lined up third on the grid after a successful Qualifying session saw him secure a place in the semi-final of the Duels. After holding position at the start of the race, by the fifth lap Nick moved into the lead of the 2024 Diriyah E-Prix after his podium opponents took their first ATTACK MODE decisions. For the next phase of the race, the pace was frenetic at the front with Nick and Envision Racing’s Robin Frijns, Jaguar's customer team, pulling out a lead on the rest of the pack. A crucial moment in the race was Nick building a sufficient gap for his second ATTACK MODE which meant he could come out ahead of Frijns and maintain the lead of the race. In the final few laps, Nick and the team delivered an efficient energy strategy, ensuring Frijns was unable to make a move. On the last lap, under the lights, Nick secured the fastest lap to add one more point to his tally for round three. 

Mitch Evans rounded out the points with a determined tenth-place finish, after starting in P13 on the grid. In the 36-lap energy-rich race, Mitch looked for opportunities to move his way through the field with his Jaguar I-TYPE 6. With limited overtaking opportunities on the Diriyah Circuit, and being in the middle of the pack, this proved challenging, but Mitch and the team worked together to get the Kiwi up into the final points position. Despite crossing the finish line in 11th place, an FIA investigation on Andretti’s Jake Dennis for overtaking under a yellow flag promoted Mitch back into tenth place.  

With the dust now settled on the 2024 Diriryah double-header, Jaguar TCS Racing remain top of the Teams’ Standings in the 2024 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with a 31-point lead.   

Nick’s winning performance also elevates him to the top of the Drivers’ Standings with 56 points, while Mitch remains in fifth with 21 points.
